Day 4: Driving was half fun. Two detours and traffic took some of the thrill away.

The boy sure looks small in that first pic, doesn't he? These pictures were taken when we went by Walchensee.

The hilight of today's drive was Kesselbergstrasse. It's a super-windy mountain road, but unfortunately, there was a speed limit and a decent number of cars so we didn't exactly get the FULL experience...but it was fun anyway. We had also planned on driving Wallbergstrasse as well, but I missed the turn so we just skipped it.

The lowlight was definitely the extra traffic and 2 detours we ended up taking. I tried to map the original and new drive out here.

Original:

Revised:

The two don't look THAT dis-similar, but it definitely felt longer than it should have. Both times, a road I needed was closed, and the second time, I actually got pretty far down the road before the closure came up, so I had to backtrack all the way. That was a bit annoying.

Needlesstosay, the drive today was pretty anti-climactic. However, it was fun to test out the M Mode :D

MORE ABOUT ME

…

If you’ve ever Googled me, I’m not the 3D Animator from Singapore or a NASA engineer. I’m a former Designer and Creative Director who also loves gadgets and technology. This combination makes me a pretty big geek.

I spent about a decade working for Design Studios and Ad Agencies, then went client side in 2001 with a stint at GoTo/Overture/Yahoo!. In 2006 I joined Oakley to head up the web business and run digital strategy for the brand. That was a job I loved and never planned on leaving, but then Apple called in 2012, and I couldn’t say “no” to a dream job at a company I’ve admired for over 30 years.

I’m also an Internet pack-rat and have a hard time getting rid of all the old personal sites I’ve created so I usually just leave them online for posterity, even though a bunch of the feeds no longer work. Check out some of the archives in the links that follow.
